How to Draw a Great Looking Grandpa for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

Grandpa step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 1

1. Begin the grandpa outline by drawing the nose. Use overlapping curved lines for the bridge and tip of the nose. Then, draw the eye. First, place a curved line at the top of the cheek.

Use curved lines to enclose the rectangular eye above it, and the eyelid above the eye. Inside the eye, enclose a circle within a circle and shade between them to form the pupil.
